Writer Wednesday: What Revision Really Looks Like

I've come to the conclusion that I like to embarrass myself. Today I'm sharing a video of what revision really looks like…if you're me. Just an FYI, my daughter watched this and said, "You're putting that on YouTube?" while giving me a "Mom, you're so embarrassing" look. Then she must have had a change of heart because she laughed and said, "Let me know when it's up. I want to watch it again and again so I can laugh at you." She's such a confidence booster!

So, without further ado, here is what revision really looks like when you're me. While the video is short, just envision this repeating on an endless loop until I finish revising a book. ;)

Did this seem familiar to you? What does your revision process look like?

Oh my gosh, that was too funny and too "real" for me!! I start out loving the story I've written and then go directly into "that's crap, start over!" mode. It's nice to know I'm not in the up and down hills from revising alone!

About Me

Kelly Hashway fully admits to
being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop
her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe
it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love
of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural
creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction and is a USA Today bestseller. Kelly is
also USA Today bestselling romance author Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not
writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a
job title that deserves to be capitalized.
